I'll try the tcpdump, thanks for the recommendations. I was on the phone with Netopia (the current router I put in bridging mode is a Cayman/Netopia) to see if there were any VPN add-ons I could buy for the Cayman so it could support the roadwarrior and gateway VPNs I need. Unfortunately there isn't anything for that model, but for $180 I can trade up to a Netopia 4541 which does have the VPN capabilities. I think it's very similar software to the R7200 which I have successful joined with LEAF.
Anyway, since this location is remote and I keep killing the connection trying to troubleshoot requiring someone local to undo the last change and reboot, and because I've come to hate BellSouth's PPPoE implemenation, $180 for an ADSL modem/router/vpn gateway is a no brainer if it will solve this problem. Anyone have any odds on whether moving to the all-in-one device will help? I'm not thrilled about losing the ability to add a DMZ in the future and all the other flexibility LEAF provides, but the remote troubleshooting has been brutal and I'm getting into a crunch.
